I-FMD encourages you to attend our 2023 Materials Symposium and Open House! This full day event will be divided into three portions. The first session will involve a select group of speakers providing a 25 minute presentation (+5 minute Q&A) on where they see the future of materials research in the coming years. During the open house portion of the event in the afternoon, I-FMD thrust leaders will present overviews of the cutting edge materials and device research being conducted at Lehigh. The event will then conclude with a poster session by faculty and graduate students for networking, information exchange, and developing collaborations.
